Speaking as a straight guy, I think it's a goddamned shame you've never gotten any compliments. I know a little bit what that's like--men almost never get complimented on our looks--but being a guy means that I haven't had the same societal conditioning about beauty that women get subjected to.

If it helps, I bet if we met in person I'd think you were lovely, and so would a lot of other guys. Just that those are often the same guys who are too shy to give compliments easily.

Men usually don't get complimented on their looks? I never knew that.

That explains the reaction I get from my male friends when I tell them they're looking good that day. If I'm one of the few people doing it, if any, no wonder they look puzzled, and then later kind of ashamed-happy. I thought it was just because I'm really ham-fisted in the way I put things sometimes.

I'm not sure that I might be more careful now about doing it now with men. They might take it the wrong way.

Women compliment each other all the time. It's one of the first things you do when you meet up with a friend. "Wow, your hair looks great!" etc. It can make me feel great for hours afterwards, if not days. The only thing comparable is good feedback on ebay. "A+ customer!" I'll really take any compliment I can get, won't I?

Hey, don't be too shy about complimenting men. Like you say, it feels incredibly validating and makes you happy; why not share that experience with a dude? We like being happy too. :)
